Anyway, not only those books, but also all the books I've said "Not Interested" or all those free books I've read and discarded, all the books I've seen the cover while browsing the store... all those books, their covers, are saved three times in my images folder on Kobo Touch!!! WHY?!

The images are saved in triplicate for the 3 sizes the Kobo ereaders use. I'd guess this is being done to save having to locate and resize the image each time you access it.
And yes, I find it annoying that it saves them for all books. I can see why it is done to allow seeing your wishlist books, as an example, when you are not connected to the Internet. I can't see why Kobo does not implement a garbage collection routine that would clear out images that are no longer associated with any books (deleted, not interested, why the expletive deleted did they show me that recommendation, etc.).
